Hello, Anand.  If I understand you correctly, you can do this but would
not do it in your Xen configuration file.  The domain file would set up
your virtual physical interface but your IP addresses would be set by
the configuration files within your domU.

I always prefer to use iproute2 to establish multiple IP addresses per
physical interface.  There is a somewhat dated slideshow about iproute2
in the training section of the ISCS open source network security
management project (http://iscs.sourceforge.net) or you can search your
distribution for a file named ip-cref.ps.

Some distributions still prefer the use of aliases where you would set
up something like an ifcfg-eth0:0 file using device O:0 which will bind
an alias to physical interface eth0.

Hope I understood your question and that this helps. Good luck - John
